8/07/08 = I just want people to know, that if I dump a project, I will more than likely add a project to keep things balanced. More than likely, Playground will be dumped, but not before I submit the WIP here. You will easily tell that there is no room for improvement, plus it's just not a track that I'm familiar with making. I am also dumping Foreign Feelings, it's gone through many formats, and it's just something that I'm not going to complete. So, look out for a new Trance and Classical song to hit my WIP Section pretty soon.

Meantime, everything else seems to be going according to plan. I've decided to submit Twilight this month, seeing that I think I can finish it. It's more than likely Pico will be released net month, while some of the tracks I had planned to submit next month might be pushed back to October/November.

I'm planning on submitting Burning Desires on the 18th or 19th, while Twilight miht be near the end of the month of the 25th or 26th.

Releases in August: "Playground (WIP)", "Burning Desires", "Twilight"
Possible Releases for August: "Pico's Revival"

==========
WIP Section
==========

TRANCE:
Dusk (Original Mix) = 20%
This song has been in the making almost as long as Airless has been. It's been through many different reformations, and finally I think I have a good production going for it. Sadly, I'm going to take my time on this and submit it sometime in November or possibly December.

Tribe (Original Mix) = 25%
The song was previously titled "Mega", but I didn't want to make the most commercial song ever, so I downgraded a lot and got rid of the melody, meantime it's sounding very good and like me. I'm planning to take a good amount of time to finish this late this month or early September, so look for it sometime then.

Untitled Final Trance Project = 1%
I haven't worked that much on it yet, it's more of just an idea of what I will do and when it will be submitted. I am hard at work at making a new melody and possibly something similar to Airless and Survivor. This will be submitted in December, before I take my leave of absence.

CLASSICAL:
A King's Duty = 40%
If you remember the end Act (6:30) of Down Below, this song resembles that part. It's very epic, while also being traditional of sorts. It's likely to be out in September, along with a good amount of my songs.

Twilight = 70%
It's probably one of my most ambient type tracks ever, it's very trippy in some sorts and I really hope will adopt it as one of their own. The song is likely going to be out this month, but September for sure if not.

Burning Desires = 95%
This track is basically finished, I'm just letting the dust settle for a little bit to see if the song grows on me or doesn't sound too good. It has one of my better subtle melodies, so look out for it late this month.

Strangers = 30%
The song is a piano track mostly, but it does have a good amount of strings to accompany it. It's very sad, and it just depicts that sometimes strangers can be more helpful then friends. The track is likely to be submitted in September.

Lost & Lost = 30%
This track is also sad, has a very fitting violin and sort of tells a story that some people are never found and stay lost and alone. Again, it is likely to be out in late September.

Pico's Revival = 60%
I would hope people are excited for this. Pico has been revived for 1 hour, and has to seek revenge on whoever killed him. It's very different from the first, but has the same mood and some of the same melodies from the first. I would like to say it will be released this month, but September if not.

Hidden Secrets = 40%
This is a personal favorite of mine, it resembles Strangers more then I would like to, but it has very good progression so far, and should please my piano/synth fans. The track might be out in September, but it's so moody I would like to push it's date to October.

Garden of Eden = 5%
Finally we get to my piano tracks. The song is VERY warming and welcoming, just like a garden. It's probably one of my most telling songs, meaning that it paints a picture for you. The bad side to these piano tracks is that their new and fresh, and will likely get November/December releases here.

Accepted Alas = 5%
Imagine being the outsider of a group and finally you are accepted among them. Obviously it's a joyful feeling to be accepted by people, and that's what this piano track is basically all about. Again, a likely Nov/Dec release.

A New World = 5%
Piano/Synth work mostly, I plan to make it a sweeping piece, sort of like it's too much to handle and too big to explore, but the exploring must be done. Again, a likely Nov/Dec release.

So Close = 5%
This is planned to be synth work, it will be sad, since it will indicate that my time at NG is coming to an end soon. Don't expect December to be full of happy songs, besides my Trance song. A December release for sure.

Goodbye Newgrounds = 5%
This will be submitted on December 31st, right before the year turns to 2009. It will be piano, it will be sad, and it will be almost a weight off my shoulder so to speak.

7/24/08 = I was going to update this a little bit ago, but it's been a crazy week. I haven't had much time to work on music, and I'm apparently allergic to Sulfur, so I have a large rash all over my body (literally) besides my head.

But on a music note, I might submit another song this week, but it doubtful that I will. I'm trying to put a WIP together of my Untitled Trance Song, and it more than likely going to come out early August, but I can't promise anything. I'm contemplating to call the track either 'Deep' or 'Heavy', it's got this real heavy Electro beat to it, and it's WAY different from any of the Trance songs I've made.

On my classical side, I honestly don't think any of them will be done within the first 5 to 8 days of August, so expect nothing soon. I'm trying to take my time on some of them, only because I want them to be perfect, since a lot of people are saying all my Classical songs are genius. I don't want to disappoint =)

Oh, and as for that "Surprise"; it is --------> Pico's Revival =)

Releases in July: None
Possible Releases for July: "Hidden Secrets", "Deep/Heavy (WIP)"

Some of you might not know that I submit songs every now and then to another site. Most of these tracks aren't coming to NG (for Downloading purposes), but some might in the near future. I figured I'd link my Top 5 best tracks on this other site, so you can get a good feel of what is not on NG.

1. Our Dying Sun - Several people have told me this is my best track, I never quite believed them, until I've gotten some reviews from some local magazines on the song. I am planning a rework on this track, so that I have an alt version to give out to labels in the (hopefully) near future). *Wont go to NG*

2. Thunder - This was inspired during the making of Survivor and Explore, to me I think it has one of my most groundbreaking beats I've ever made, others disagree, but it's a personal favorite of mine and I think NG would like it. *Wont go to NG*

3. Amnesia - Again, this is a personal favorite of mine. Sure it's repetitive at times, but it's still got one of my best melodies, and a Rework is also in the making for this. *Wont go to NG*

4. Zenon--_-- - This on the other I plan on releasing here soon. I figure if I'm going to make an ode to a NG Artist, I should submit it here too. My REAL first attempt and GOA, so excuse the noob'ish quality. *Will go to NG*

5. Reliant - I just submitted this recently, and although I say NG should know this from my 4 Melody WIP thingy, you don't yet. Hopefully I could submit that within the next few days, just it's have some kHz problems. *Wont go to NG*

So there you have it, I still have several other tracks on there you can look at, but none compare to those 5 (in my opinion). Enjoy =)

6/02/08 = So I currently just got the Lost S3 Soundtrack and the Atonement Soundtrack, so look for songs aspiring from those two EXCELLENT Soundtracks. Michael Giacchino is one of my favorite composers net to Nick Cave. It's just an awesome show and an awesome Soundtrack. Other than that, nothing else is new, near completion on Majestic.

5/31/08 = I updated my WIP side of this page with Classical songs I plan on doing. Only reason there is one, is because most of the others are untitled. Trust me though, there's about 20 in the works right now.

5/30/08 = Congrats to Maestro for grabbing the best Musician for the Tank Awards. We'll see if I get next years, because I plan on submitting some of my best work here now. Don't expect me to leave anytime soon =) BTW, Frequency is done, so look out for that next month. Almost forgot, I'll be sending in a clip of 4 songs I want to try and work on. It will prob be my first submission of the month.

5/26/08 = I've finished Liberation (previously named Mid-Morning). Wasn't satisfied with that name, so I am just using Liberation. The song has this laid back feel and I kind of wanted to make it sound like this person was just enjoying life with a free attitude. Like I said though, nothing will be submitted this month from me, so you'll have to wait until June.

5/24/08 = And just like that, I'm not depressed anymore. I guess it was something I ate or it was just a rough day. This is good news, because now I do feel like going into that studio. I've been contemplating all week on thinking of some good melodies, and Mid-Morning might be what everyone would want in Melody terms. Distant on the other hand is being a bitch to work with, I can't really find a good direction to take it, so I'm going back to my older version and working on that. I still wouldn't expect a new track anytime this month and the beginning of next month. I might send in some classical tracks, but as far as Trance goes, I'm waiting til' school is done so I have an open mind.

NEWS

5/20/07 = As you can see below, everything is on hiatus for right now, only because I should be focusing on school now and graduating (already a super senior, because I had pretty juvenile Freshman and Sophomore years). Other than that, I am WILDLY anticipating the new Coldplay album. My favorite band hands down.

5/08/08 = GREAT NEWS! That song down their in the WIP Section entitled 'Frequency' is going to be a collaboration with an artist at my school. He was originally going to take the helm for Crisis (Pt. 3), but I told him my idea for Frequency, and he jumped on the project like a hooker on LSD! Right now, from what I have done from Frequency, it might be better than Survivor or w/e song you guys like from me.

=========================

WORKS IN PROGRESS

Airless (Original Mix) ~~~ 45% Done ~~~ My newest track that is taking forever. I'm trying to make it very distinctive, so it might take a little bit longer to make then I expected. When it's finished, you'll be very proud of me, I hope =+

Distant (Original Mix) ~~~ 20% Done ~~~ This is the previous Untitled track, I'm thinking of posting up a WIP of it as soon as I can get it done, so you guys can wait ever so patiently for the release.

Crisis (Pt. 3) ~~~ 30% Done ~~~ I do not know why I am doing this. I recently had an idea and I just figured why not continue this?

Frequency (AM/PM Mix) ~~~ 65% Done ~~~ I had an older track that I didn't really show anyone. It had a satisfying beat, but the melody was less than good. I lost the file a long time ago, but I have a pretty good memory, and I'm remaking it for the hell of it. The AM/PM Mix is a title in the working, it just sounds cool so I put it there. This is a collab with a fellow DJ from school.

=========================

FINISHED PROJECTS

Explore (Original Mix) ~~~ 100% Done ~~~ Finished this on April 17th, and it's about time. I will try to get here on NG, but I can't promise anything. If not, I might be able to do a Radio Edit to send to NG. You never know.

Through the Forest (Original Mix) ~~~ 100% Done ~~~ Finished this on April 25th, and it sounds like Epic Classical Trance. That's kind of it =O
